== is no'nt a valid operator but some implementations accep it.

You can also use case statement :

Code:
#! /bin/ksh

while read line
do
        case "$line" in
        *Group*)
                GROUP=${line##*=}
                ROLE=""
                USER=""
                ;;
        *Role*)
                ROLE=${line#*=}
                ROLE=${ROLE%% *}
                USER=""
                ;;
        *User*)
                USER=${line##*=}
                [[ -n $GROUP && -n $ROLE && -n $USER ]] && echo "$GROUP,$ROLE,$USER"
                ;;
        esac
done < $1
